Flash Back
Z had, had hard morning training. She seemed to have the cadets that could not do anything right, the misunderstood cadets of the academy. She was exhausted and saw the guys in the mess hall. She went over to the machine to get her lunch. It was replicated. Little did she or the other rangers know what was in it or what it would do to them. Z sat at the table, the others had started eating and the alarm went off. Z sighed having to leave her food untouched, Boom appeared,
"Hey Z, can I eat you Mac and cheese, they have run out"
"Well I won't be eating it, sure"
She moved out the door quickly, pulling the lucazade out of her pocket. She crammed it in as she ran out the centre.
During the battle.
"I'll take you down! I'll get you good!" Said Jack
"Hey I'm gonna take him down" said sky
"No me, I'm the best!" Jack
"No me" Jack and Sky got into an argument ignoring the krybots. Z sighed, aiming a blow and took the krybots down quickly and smoothly. Bridge and Syd started fighting the krybots but then started fighting each other. Z looked confused. She took on more krybots on her own and she had had enough.
"Hey guys, a little help?"
No one answered. Z took a few more krybots down before the Orange head appeared.
"Guys quit fighting and start helping! Fight the enemy, not yourselves"
She tackled the orange head. She knew she had little chance alone. She was thrown hard to the ground, slamming into a bin that fell on her. No one check she was Ok, or even seemd to have noticed her laying momentarily stunned.The guys then started to attack, it was random with no patternand they were all attacking from different angles, they were at least working together slightly Zthought. Z had demorphed. The last blow throwing her off balance.
She pulled herself up from the debris shakily. She morphed with them. Then joined them. They were fighting the orangehead, and then they started fighting amongst themselves. The orange head took great delight in this, after being told this would happen and went in search for the mystery component that would help Grumm win this battle. Z bombarded him with attacks, but owing to the little energy she had, lack of food and a bad nights sleep she was quickly thrown to the ground. The orange head grabbed the device before blasting the rangers including Z to the ground and escaped. Z looked at her arms as she demorphed, and hoped nothing was broken. She shakily got to her feet, as did the rest of the rangers. They all left to go back to head quarters and Z was driving with Syd.
"You know you could have done better" Syd said
"What about you" Z returned "You were fightinh"
"Well hello Sky made his move at the time I did, he wanted all the glory of defeating the orangehead, like Jack and Bridge"
"Syd whats up? Your really moody"
"I'm tired" Syd replied
Z looked at Syd confused. She let it drop.
Arriving back at Base, they went to the command centre.
"What happened Cadets?" Cruger demanded
"We let you down sir, we're sorry"
"You were fighting amongst yourself, leaving cadet Delgado to do most of the fighting. Are you alright Cadet?"
Cruger had noticed Z's weary face, bruising on her cheek and her posture slouched. She also appeared in a world of her own, she seemed to snap back when he spoke to her
"I will be sir"
"Good, now the rest of you, I want circuit training round the gym 100 times. This is a warning cadets, I don't know what's going on but get it sorted, Cadet Delgado, unless of an emergency, you have the rest of the day off, Dismissed!"
They saluted then left, grumbling. Z headed off in there direction then disappeared into the common room, flopping down on the sofa.
20 Minutes later Sam appeared.
"Z can you help me in the gym, I need to work on anew move and well could you help?" Sam's eyes looked wide and Z couldn't refuse.
"I can help, for a while"
"I'll meet you in the gym, I just need to get a t-shirt to wear"
"OK"
Z walked to the gym. She got inside. The B squad were still running laps, they all stopped when they saw her, and advanced towards her angrily…….
